[backto140]

I have absolutely enjoyed seeing all of your videos. It has been 1 week with me on phentermine and lost 5lbs. So far so good. You have helped me to understand a lot about phentermine and also what I should and should not do. Thanks!!! Also extremely happy for you for meeting your goals!!! :-)

[ashleydjr73]

Thank you so much. Congrats on your 5 lbs. I'm sure it's even more now. I'm not quite there with my goals, but I will be there soon enough. :-)

Have a great week! Ashley

Great hearing from you! Love your videos and hope that you will post more videos. My starting weight was 238 and now I am 223.4lbs (33 days on adipex). Exercising regularly & signed up with a personal trainer to push myself out of my comfort zone and challenge by body.

Thank you for inspiring me & sharing your experiences/knowlege. I was able to relate to you and that helped tremendously! You have accomplished so much already and I know you will meet your goal. You are the best!

Im a little discouraged. My first week on phentermine and only lost 2 pounds. Can somone enlighten me on what they eat for Breakfast,Lunch,Dinner and what they avoid?

[ashleydjr73]

Don't be discouraged! Everyone's body is different, so our weight loss will be different too. Just keep going! :-)

Perhaps you just need to consume the pill for a bit longer to see more results, or perhaps you're consuming something that is hurting your loss. I'd stay away from caffeine, and really try to cut down the amount of food you're eating in a meal. Has the pill helped curb your appetite? Drink LOTS of water! It definitely helps with the weight loss! Good luck! Ashley

My husband and I have been on phentermine (37.5) for a month now. We had our follow up yesterday. I've lost 20 lbs while he had lost 30 lbs :-/ I'm so jealous of him. Lol. I can't be mad b/c I'm a stay at home mom, while he's at work loading and unloading heavy equipment so hes getting alot more exercise than I am. On the other hand I am very happy for my husband I just want both of us to be as healthy as possible for our children and thats really all that matters to me at this point.

[ashleydjr73]

I wish my husband had gotten on Phen @ the same time I did too, but we weren't sure how much it would cost for both of us (Dr, pills, weigh-ins), so I think it's awesome that u & your husband could do this together. I'd be a bit jealous 2 because I'm SO sure my husband would lose weight faster than me as well. Ugh! :-)

I agree-- I looked @ the whole ordeal as perhaps there may b medical issues w/going on the pill, but being this overweight was a definite medical issue, so on the pill I went! :-)

wednesday will be my 2 weeks I have lost 20 lbs and i know for sure inches but for some reason it just dont seem like i lost 20 lbs the scale reads 20 lost but i cant really see a difference i can see some inches from my stomach but i guess its a mind game. staying strong pushing on. i should have never waited this long so.. every stay strong WE CAN DO IT !

[ashleydjr73]

Wow! 20 lbs. in 2 weeks?! You must look like a completely different person to the people in your life. I was right with you on the "not seeing it" when it came to seeing my weight loss. It probably wasn't until I'd lost at least 30 that I actually started seeing some differences. Now having lost 40+, I can't believe just how big I was only 4+ months ago!

Congrats & stay strong. When the loss slows down, don't get discouraged! Just remember the 20 you've already lost-- then smile! :-D

[sandrajeantaylor]

today is my 7th day i have lost 11 lbs good luck guys i have taken phentermine before 15 years ago and the lbs melted off and it has stayed off just gained unconrollable weight the past 3 yrs this is do-able everyone stay strong and focus and when u question yourself should u eat it scarf down a bowl of grapes just try to keep something around that you shove in your mouth it works

[ashleydjr73]

Great advice! Always having something low fat to munch on would be so helpful at times. :-)

Congrats on your weight loss, and thank you for your comment. It's great to hear that you were able to keep the weight off for most of the 15 years since you first took Phen! That gets me excited. :-D

[JERSEYCHICANA]

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! I BEEN ON PHEN. ABOUT THE SAME TIME YOU HAVE BEEN ON IT and have experienced alot of what you mentioned, "WATER RETENTION" WHAT I LOVE THE MOST IS THAT SAY EXACTLY WHAT I BEEN GOING THROUGH AND I COME UP WITH SAME CONCLUSIONS, I REALLY DONT PUT SO MUCH MIND TO IT UNTIL YOU MENTIONED YOUR THEORY which is most likely what it is,ITMAKES SO MUCH SENSE! THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS ASHLEY! YOU ARE SO DETAILED AND ITS REALLY HELPING ME!

[ashleydjr73]

It's odd how similar most people's bodies are at times, huh? :-) I always say that in reality I know my body better than any doctor will ever know, so before I rush off to ask for a doctor's advice I'm going to try and figure out the whys of my body first. Our own conclusions are sometimes very accurate.

Thank you for your comments and your continued support. I appreciate it SO much! :-D

[weightlossjourney87]

Hey there! I'm so sorry you are not feeling well and your back hurts! I hope you get better very soon! Great job this week and I definitely get what you mean by water retention!

[ashleydjr73]

As women I've actually had quite a few people tell me they've been suffering from the water retention stuff too. I love being a woman, but MAN it can be annoying at times too! Thanks for the comment, and I hope you have a great week! :-)

[mikereis77]

You're helping so many people with these videos hun. I'm very proud of you. We went a little bad with our diets, but I enjoyed it. I hope you start feeling a whole lot better.

[Tiffiny4]

I have noticed that when I go off track a little with food. My body disposes of it threw bowel movements. Guess it's were my body is not use to eating nothing but healthy food's.. You are doing so well on your weight loss.. ♥ Take care..

[ashleydjr73]

That's how it effects me too. One day a friend of mine bought me lunch, and she bought stuff I haven't consumed in quite some time. Woah! did my tummy hurt within about an hour after eating the little bit that I did! I hadn't felt "ill" like that in quite some time. ;-)

Thanks and have a GREAT week! :-)

[gayleanne8]

I just want to thankyou for all the videos you have done. I have watched all of them and they have helped me so much. I have only been on phentermine for 2 weeks but I feel it has changed my life already in so many ways. I have exercized so much but couldnt get my hunger under control and now i feel hopefull again. Thankyou you are helping more than you know!!

[ashleydjr73]

Thank you so much! Your words are incredibly sweet. It's hard to believe my unstopping talking on the internet can help people (heehee), but it's still really great to know that it is. :-D

I'm so happy that you're having positive results from Phentermine. My hunger was a huge problem for me too. It feels so good to finally have some help that not only controls it, but is also helping me lose weight in the process.

Good luck w/your progress. Please keep me informed! Have a great week!

[abella211]

that same thing (bathroom) happen to me! weird. lol. thank you so very much for being so honest. i am so happy that you are on here so i can see your results and to relate!!! i am so proud of you for doing this! thank you so much (more than you will ever know).

p.s. ive been on the phentermine for about 2 months. i have lost 29 lbs!

[ashleydjr73]

Thank you so much. You are very sweet.

Perhaps the Phen. reacts w/certain foods or hormones & makes us retain water. Who knows? :-)

Congrats on your weight loss! Almost 30 lbs. in 2 months! That's awesome. You must feel great!

Your words help me more than you know as well. Thank you for commenting. :-D
